History

The Sembawang area in the early twentieth century was the site of the Nee Soon Rubber estate. During the colonial times, Sembawang was home to a major British naval base, its construction of which began in 1928 and was completed in 1938. [1] The base included dockyards, wharves and workshops, as well as supporting administrative, residential and commercial areas. The Naval Base has since been handed over to the Singapore government, which in 1968 converted it into a commercial dockyard that went on to become Sembawang Corporation, a major state-owned industrial conglomerate listed on the Singapore stock exchange.

Land reclamation

Extensive land reclamation throughout Singapore has left Sembawang with one of the country's last natural beaches,[2][3] the Wak Hassan Beach located at Sembawang Park. Today, the vegetable farms, rubber plantations and Chinese graveyards surrounding the former naval base have given way to modern housing, especially in the 1990s during the development of a New town by the Singapore Housing and Development Board. The town remains a major port, with Sembawang Wharves handling a high volume of bulk commodities cargo, such as timber and rubber. [4] Land reclamation is either of two distinct practices. ...

Roads and waterways

The Sungei Sembawang winds through the Sembawang new town.

One of the key roads which was built to connect the navel base to the city centre in the South is Sembawang Road. This road began as a track in the 1920s and was officially named Sembawang Road in 1938. Buses operated by various private companies were the main mode of transport then. This road was also dotted with many villages along its length : Chye Kay Village, Sungei Simpang Village, Chong Pang Village, Sembawang Village. Most of these villages were cleared from 1970s - 1990s to make way for Yishun and Sembawang New Towns. The last of the villages, Kampong Wak Hassan, was cleared in 1998. Present day Sembawang Road is a major arterial road linking the Northern and Central portion of Singapore.
